Bill's
barn burned down, and his wife Polly called the insurance company.
Polly
told the insurance company, "We had that barn insured for fifty
thousand, and I want my money."
The
agent replied, "Hold on just a minute, Polly. Insurance doesn't
work quite like that. We will ascertain the value of what was insured
and provide you with a new barn of comparable worth."
There
was a long pause before Polly replied, "Then I'd like to cancel
the policy on my husband." |
